Bridesmaids height difference
I have 6 bridesmaids. 4 of us are around the same height (5'0"-5'2"). I have 1 bridesmaid who is 5'7". I asked her if she would mind wearing kitten heels, and she replied that she thinks high heels would look better. If she wears high heels (3"), she'll be at least 7 inches taller than the rest of us who are also wearing heels. She'll also be the height of most of the groomsmen. The other bridesmaid who is 5'5" said she is also going to wear kitten heels, so my tallest bridesmaid wouldn't be the only one with a small heel if she agreed to wear them. I am really not trying to single her out, and I love her and I honestly do want her to feel beautiful at my wedding.
I am not requiring them all to wear the same shoe, I just would like to even out the height difference a little bit through heel height.
I think 6-8 inches is a noticeable height difference. Am I wrong? I guess I wouldn't mind if we were all different heights but since most of us are about the same, I don't want her to stick out too much. What should I do? Thoughts???

When you take pictures on any other day of your life, do you care if everyone is of the same height? No, as long as you can see everyone's face.

Seriously? Two selfish "I don't want my bridesmaid to be too different" posts in a row? FFS.

[QUOTE]If she's a good bridesmaid, she'll have 6 inches surgically removed from her legs so you can all be the same height. Duh.

<div>Shag that. The other bridesmaids should stop being so selfish and get their asses up on stilts. Nothing more than a one inch difference in height should be acceptable.</div>
squish.

[QUOTE]Not gonna lie, I was annoyed that I was the shortest person at my wedding. And I'm 5"10 and had 3" heels on. My MOH is 6" and wore kitten heels, but that was her choice, not mine

Good lord, LVB. I didn't realize you were so tall - or that Tebow-hubs was so big!
Jealous. VERY jealous. My H is barely 2 inches taller than me. I wore flats and kept my knees bent most of my wedding day. You got to wear heels and he still towered over you. *sigh* JEALOUS.

My bms had an 11" range in height. The tallest girl wore the tallest heels. It does.not.matter. I don't think it's their heights that you notice in our photos. In fact, this is the only one of our photos where I think height is even noticeable at all.
You didn't pick your friends because of their height or shoe size or hair color did you? If you want matching bridesmaids that badly, you should have chosen a set of identical multiples.

They are not auditioning to be Rockettes. Therefore, they don't need to fit a height requirement. Good for her for embracing her height. Some tall women are embarassed of their height (which they shouldn't be), and they wouldn't be caught dead in heels. Don't worry about it. Honestly there will be so many things to worry about when you are trying to make your day go as smoothly as possible. This should be the last thing that you lose sleep over.

You could try clones too.
Also, I didn't realize different heights were such a problem. I'll have to make the girls in my wedding party stand on boxes so they are as tall as I am.
